What is this sub’s take on Richard Gadd and his two seminal works so far on men’s issues, *Baby Reindeer* and now *Half Man*?

He’s never, to the best of my knowledge, declared any kind of political affiliation, never mind an alignment with men’s issues or men’s groups.

To me he just seems like a breath of fresh air, like the kind of men’s activist that could actually break through the mainstream and reach more people. I don’t know. I don’t really feel like I’m qualified enough to provide any definitive answers, but maybe more experienced and knowledgeable men here can.

I honestly feel that if he pushes further, beyond sexual violence against men and “toxic masculinity”, that he could be a tremendous masculist that the masses could not just accept, but warmly embrace.

I feel as though he has a helluva lot more to say about men’s rights and issues but isn’t quite there yet. Like he’s testing the waters with these two works he wrote and produced, but he’d like to say much more.

I appreciate your educated and mature feedback.
